Riot put aegis reflector on a setplay zoner 😭

I'll be at Slashback! First time going to the west coast, let's rock

They made him a heel, oh my god (why on earth is he still months away???)

I feel insane every time I try to explain the myriad of reasons why people should leave that website and am met with shrugs.

I'll be using pineapplehour.com as a bit of a fighting game blog from here on out! Still getting things a little more polished, but I hope to use this as an outlet from time to time.

asking over here too, if anyone got a magfest badge they are trying to get rid of for the upcoming magfest, hit your boy up

off to a new year! #Kirby #カービィ

I seriously considered grabbing a CB hotel room and just sending it, but looking at my travel schedule for the year I'm pretty busy as-is. I will be stream monstering that weekend, I promise.

It is a CRIME this series doesn’t have a modern day rerrl on modern systems

Dare I add *another* event to my insane slate next year?

The week between Christmas and New Year's really is just a black hole. Can't be bothered to do much of anything.

Mentioning the possibility of removing Wild Assault is the best Christmas present ArcSys could have given us

Speaks for itself

I have finally won a Guilty Gear Strive bracket. It just took four and a half years 😭

Come to SQ

Now *this* is pod racing

For all of the marketing budget Riot has thrown at 2XKO, they couldn't spring for the 60 second ad slot to show actual gameplay of Caitlyn?

The Evo lineups for Japan and Vegas are actually pretty nice. JP in particular, main game KOF is hype. Unfortunately my planned travel schedule in the first half of the year is already fucking insane, and I am still pretty iffy on Evo's new ownership anyway.

SQ in 2026 will be cinema. That's all.

I was filling out the Tokon beta survey and this was listed as a mechanic. Was this actually explained anywhere in the game? Because I sure don't remember it (also why on earth would you make it a hold-back for this instead of just letting us disable auto-combos in controller settings?)

NCFGC friendsgiving turned into a bunch of us messing with the Invincible VS alpha. Eating a piece of pie while you watch a full combo into level 3 do 60% is incredible.

The essay regarding patch philosophy for 2XKO is both enlightening and concerning. A five week patch cadence for a competitive fighting game is not particularly encouraging. 2xko.riotgames.com/en-gb/news/d...

"I know the basics of C-Kouma, surely piloting F-Kouma won't feel that different." - me, deeply misunderstanding the situation

The Steam Machine has me interested. I'm going to need a price point, but if it's competitive with consoles I wouldn't be shocked to see TOs messing with them

Refocusing on fighting games I actively have fun learning and playing has been a very good decision. French Bread games are just that good. Gotta dust off my KOF team tomorrow though, XV at the local next weekend and it might be time to learn Kim

Credits rolling on Legends: Z-A. I was slightly positive on it, then the last main story mission actually made me miserable because it crammed all of the worst parts of the game into one drawn out section.

My day was largely one filled with rest (and Pokemon Z-A) but I did take some time to try some C-Kohaku. She's equal parts cool and silly, this is very good for me.

Climax was a revitalization of my passion for fighting games. The post-SQXL break is over, it's time to get back to work.

Mentally, I am still at the Northeast Atlanta Hilton. Physically, I am in the nosebleeds at BoA

Going to bed at 4 am, I have to be in Charlotte by noon tomorrow, let's see what we can accomplish

Forcing myself to hit a workout before I go grind casuals was a good idea, I feel much better

1-2 in MBAACC, as it turns out not knowing what Nanaya does is a problem when you fight two of them back to back

Mint yerba mate save me...

Very funny 1-2 uni run (last game last round with lid R1, then uzuki'd in losers) hit I think I'm actually close to getting clean in this game

Climax! Come say hi, I'll be hard to miss today.

Six hour solo drive down to Atlanta, and I'm at Climax! The state of South Carolina should be thrown into the ocean

The NBA - the greatest thing ever established in America - is BACK. And to celebrate this momentous occasion, here is a massive starter pack of NBA accounts you can follow, all of whom are active:

It's Climax week oh my goodness

We're back! We're teaming up with @wickedrealitygg.bsky.social to bring you our line-up on high-refresh, head to head setups with the much-requested addition of 2XKO! Sign up early so I can buy enough pizza for everyone ✌️ If you know the poster reference you gotta sign up, thats the rule

I'd like to thank @riotgames.com for giving me the opportunity to give feedback on @2xko.riotgames.com.

Somewhere in ArcSys HQ there is a man who just pokes his head out of his office every year or two and yells "add more Gokus" to the dev team

Fighting Warwick is a new level of tilting, Jesus Christ.

Yasuo did not get nerfed hard enough.

If you really want to act like an authority on the state of the FGC, you *might* want to know about successful events running in your own state.

"SQ XL is done, I can rest for a while." *Frosty reg opens* *Climax is in three weeks* "Fuck."

Venue room for Frosty secured! Back to Lombard I go.

Once more into the warzone that is Frosty venue hotel registration
